There’s something magical about spending time in your backyard. Whether you’re enjoying a peaceful morning with a cup of coffee on the porch or hosting friends for a fun summer evening, your outdoor space should be your go-to place for relaxation and entertainment.

Why Invest in Outdoor Living Space Shades?
Northern Kentucky’s summers can be long and hot, with blazing sun. With custom outdoor living space shades, you can transform an ordinary patio or porch into a year-round retreat.
These stylish shade systems offer a host of benefits, including:
-
Protection from harmful UV rays
-
Reduced glare while maintaining airflow
-
Added daytime privacy from neighbors
-
Enhanced curb appeal
-
Lowered cooling costs for your home
Whether you’re unwinding solo or hosting a gathering, exterior shades and awnings ensure you enjoy your outdoor spaces longer and more comfortably.
Patio Shade Solutions for Every Setup
Every home is unique, and so is every outdoor space. That’s why we offer a variety of patio shade solutions designed to complement any layout, size, or function. Here are three popular options:
-
Exterior Patio Shades
Exterior patio shades offer a sleek and space-saving way to shade patios, decks, balconies, and breezeways. These outdoor window treatments roll down from overhead or side-mounted casings and can be customized in UV-blocking mesh fabrics. They’re perfect for:
-
Covered patios
-
Pergolas and arbors
-
Lanai-style porches
Choose from manual or motorized operation, or upgrade to smart home integration for the ultimate convenience.
-
Retractable Awnings
If you need shade only when it’s hot, a retractable awning is the perfect solution. Easily extend it when the sun is out and retract it just as simply when the weather changes. Retractable awnings are great for:
-
Outdoor dining areas
-
Poolside seating
-
Windows that face the afternoon sun
These exterior shades and awnings come in a variety of durable, stylish fabrics from top brands like Graber and Insolroll.
-

For more expansive or unique areas, our outdoor shades are fully customizable to match your architecture and lifestyle. Think cable-guided systems, motorized drop-downs, and side-channel shades that blend seamlessly with your structure. Popular features include:
-
Wind sensors for automatic retraction
-
Smartphone or voice control
-
Elegant finishes and eco-friendly fabrics
